A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (a pontic) to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap, which are prepared with supporting crowns. It restores your bite and stops neighboring teeth from shifting into the gap, without surgery.
Book a Consultation
For patients who prefer or need a non-surgical option to an implant, a bridge is often the more practical path.
You may be a good candidate if any of the following sound familiar. A consultation will confirm what's right for your specific case.
A bridge replaces a missing tooth without surgery, anchoring to the healthy teeth on either side. An implant is placed directly into the jawbone and doesn't require altering those neighboring teeth, but does involve a surgical step and a longer overall timeline. Your consultation will help weigh which fits your case, timeline, and preferences.
Before recommending bridges, we start with a full evaluation of your teeth and goals, so the plan fits your case rather than a standard script.
Your plan accounts for your timeline, comfort, and priorities, and is walked through with you before any treatment begins.
We take the time to explain each step and answer questions as they come up, rather than rushing through the appointment.
Aftercare and follow-up are part of the plan from the start, not an afterthought once treatment is finished.
With good care, a bridge can last a decade or more before needing replacement or repair.
It can be, particularly for patients who prefer a non-surgical option or aren't candidates for implants — your consultation will cover which fits your case.
The teeth on either side of the gap are prepared with crowns to anchor the bridge, which is a standard, well-established technique.
Candidates typically have healthy teeth on either side of the gap that can support the bridge, and prefer a fixed, non-removable option.
Coverage varies by plan; we can help you understand what applies once we know your treatment plan.
